French former footballer Eric Cantona has a new role as the face of fashion label The Kooples' first sportswear collection. The Kooples, the slick French fashion label revered for its effortless take on Parisian style, has launched a sport collection, and who better to front the campaign than Monsieur Eric Cantona? The 45-year-old former Manchester United striker has teamed up with his wife to pose for the pictures - naturally, as the label (which is the phonetic spelling of 'couples' in French) always casts dashing couples in its advertising campaigns.
